    Action-packed adventures of Danny Fenton, who straddles two worlds as a shy freshman at Casper High and a heroic phantom-fighter with ghostly superpowers. With his best friends, techno-geek Tucker and free- thinking Goth girl Sam, he thwarts the misdeeds of menacing ghosts; and stumbles through daily social hurdles. Back in the day it was pretty cool to see a 14 year old kid change into a badass ghost and defeating monsters and other kind of villains and it's still is i honestly think that Nickelodeon has more good shows than it gets credit for but it does have some pretty bad ones to be fair but this one? It's not one of them and it should be higher in my opinion.

    Danny Phantom is the same person who created the more imaginably real Fairly Odd Parents. The story revolves around a guy who is half-ghost, half human, fights monsters and ghosts and still wants to live a Normal life with his two best friends, a sidekick and the individualist"-turned love interest. This is how you meet TeenNick with Ghostbusters.Well, the idea of the plot seems too obvious, which basically involves a teen hero who tries to create a double life. Though real high school isn't exactly as angst-ridden and stereotypical as Casper High, nothing truly significant happens but fight ghosts and your usual 2000's Nickelodeon teenager scenes. Danny learns new powers a few episodes pass by, has arch nemeses, more love interests, and the fight scenes. That's about it.The fight scenes were basically a lack of detail, limiting themselves to power shooting, gadgets, and the occasional punches. Danny doesn't apparently have the physical strength, but he can try to train himself both physically, and socioeconomically. Sadly, I usually think he rarely trains, just his new powers pop-up by ghost fighting just like that.The Jokes aren't even funny. Awkward scenes here and there, maybe a random romance sequence between friends. The animation seems okay, but not enough.The theme is apparently concentrating on a more Grim feel, but I just can't see it. The contents in the cartoon look too vague, and they just come from thin air.The characters are also one-sided. Even their "unique" characters look too one-sided. Not much on character development there. The only decent person I see in there was Maddie, Danny's mom, who is the one who didn't look pathetic, and is apparently the sane one. Kudos to her.Apparently, the character that actually needed to be deleted was Sam Manson. She was the type of person who has been asserting herself to become the "perfectly independent girl" to Danny, who just magically gets her anyway in the end of the series. She was technically a hypocrite and a poser, and most of the episodes see her as trying to be different, only revealing to be quite useless in times of need. (see Naruto's Sakura.) In conclusion, Danny Phantom may be a good plot, but the cutboard characters and the vague details will just make it what it is. Butch Hartman needs to research more about the ghosts and the characters. That is all.Comment Rating: 2/10 (Because a few episodes made good ranks.)

    I'll admit, I watched the premiere episode of Danny Phantom in 2004, and it really didn't make a super-awesome impression on me. Sure, it wasn't bad, but what I remembered the most is how much I didn't really like the theme song.Although, I flipped through channels one day and stumbled upon it. Why not? It wasn't bad, per se, so I watched it. The next day, and the next, it turned into a habit to watch Danny at five-thirty. Soon I started to obsess; I loved the show more than anything on television. I still do! The characters make me laugh, the stories are really interesting (most; not everything's perfect), and the animation style is just awesome. Unlike so many of the shows on Nick, I can see Danny actually drawing in an audience of ALL ages. I love it (I'm sixteen.), my parents don't mind watching it with me, and I know little kids who love it, too. There are morals in the end, the hero doesn't always win, and the show portrays some of the real stresses of being a teenager. Why are they cancelling this? Danny Phantom has to be the best show they've had on the air for years. I didn't even watch the channel anymore until I got back into DP.I think they need to realize that if the show isn't bringing in the ratings they want or the money that they want, maybe they should put it back in its old time slot and make some more merchandise that you can actually purchase in a store. (I've never seen any; I don't know about other places.) Hopefully Danny's run won't end this year. It can't be ending in February; there's not enough time to make that happen.10 out of 10 for the ghost that I sure love the most. =3

    I have to admit it. I'm a Danny Phantom addict. i'm a 33 yr old father of three and my two sons (3yr and 2 yrs) and i watch this show every time it is on. The artwork of the show is superb when compared to many of todays, or the last decades, cartoons. The plot and storyline are excellent for the average teen or even young teen, and the lines are better than many of the adult intended lines from bugs bunny. Heavy with sarcasm, dry humor and a bumbling fathers exploits, this show rocks. There's enough reality based topics in the plot for any teen to relate to, and many adults will take great humor in the dialogue. I personally believe the show caters to a sense of family and friends, either group can benefit from this. Whether you choose to watch this with your family or sit back with your family, you'll certainly enjoy this cartoon. I'm proud to say i watch this.
